(A)SPICE Level 1 Demands on Requirements Engineering

Implement Level 1 Requirements Practices that Fit Your Organization

Requirements engineering is the entry point of the development process. Therefore, it is essential for the success of a project to establish a good and stable management of requirements. (A)SPICE defines on capability level 1 a set of base practices that shows a route to mature requirements engineering.

The training course presents the set of base practices to get the capability level and offers practical solutions how to implement them into the project. The solutions will be illustrated in the widely available Atlassian Jira Software with ease solutions R4J but are also applicable in any other state-of-the-art tool.

Participants will learn:

• What are the requested practices of (A)SPICE for requirements management?
• How can a tool support the specification and structuring of requirements?
• Which analyzes are requested and how can the results be documented?
• What is the goal of verification criteria and how shall they look like?
• Traceability, a core activity of requirements engineering – How to optimize the documentation.
• A tool does not specify good requirements automatically – Reviews as quality assurance measures for good requirements.

Participants shall have a basic understanding of requirements management or a related field (e.g., business analysis, product management, systems engineering). Prior knowledge or experience with requirements tools is not required.

The core of the course is an instructor-led live online session. After the live session participants will have access to the used requirements tool. They can try out own issues or follow a step-by-step scenario. A discussion forum helps clarifying follow-up questions and connecting with other participants.

The instructors are subject-matter experts with long track-records of practical experience. They also know well how to facilitate highly interactive web-based learning.
